The Browns may be on the way to an eighth straight losing season, but quarterback Johnny Manziel doesn't want the coaching staff or roster to change for next season.

"I want to have these receivers and the people that we have on this roster on the staff," Manziel told reporters after Sunday's loss to the Seahawks, "so we can go through the spring and not have to learn what this call is and this play and be able to go through a spring and have some of the continuity."

Manziel's plea was made during an answer about how the Seahawks' Russell Wilson is continuing to get better in his fourth season under direction of Pete Carroll's staff.

"The (Seahawks) have been doing this for awhile at a really high level,'' Manziel said. "I think this is the best that he's played probably throughout his career, so I don't know if I can really picture that (kind of stability) moving forward. We'll see what happens. I don't think anybody really knows. I want these guys to be here next year."

At 3-11, the Browns are likely going to see changes once again this offseason. Coach Mike Pettine has lost 16 of his last 19 games and Manziel, who is on his second offensive coordinator in two years, may be replaced if the Browns decide to take a quarterback in the NFL Draft.

With their final two games against 9-5 teams in the Chiefs and Steelers, it is beginning to look like Pettine could join Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Pat Shurmur and Rob Chudzinski as the fifth Brown coach in a row to be fired after a season-ending loss to Pittsburgh.
